I’m about to fly across the country with my Shih Tzu for the first time. Does anyone have any tips for flying with pets?

I’ve flown with my Pomeranian a few times, and here are some tips I’ve picked up along the way:

From time to time, feed your dog an ice cube or two. This will prevent dehydration and give her something to chew on for a few moments!

See if you can get a mild sedative for your dog to help keep her calm throughout the flight, especially during take-off and landing, and also in case of any turbulence.

And of course – make sure your dog does her toilet business outside right before going through security.
